Breitling Cosmonaute Limited Edition
The year was 1962. The space race was well under way, and as a supplier to civilian and military aviation, Breitling took a keen interest in this new adventure. Using the Navitimer chronograph as a base, the brand’s technicians developed the Cosmonaute, a space-going version of this instrument indicating the daily 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial. This configuration prevented confusion between midday and midnight. On May 24, 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this instrument under real-life conditions during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule. For its 125th anniversary, Breitling is issuing a limited series of the model that became the first wrist chronograph in space. Only 1,000 of these Cosmonaute watches will be produced, all equipped with an original version of the 24-hour dial. Reflecting its character as a 1960s design icon, the Cosmonaute Limited Edition is fitted exclusively with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet.The Cosmonaute Limited Edition

The New Rolex Way.....Minimalism
In thinking about some of Rolex's releases over the last several years - and discontinued models - I'm seeing a pattern of less dial & bracelet choices. Examples include the DD 40 vs DD 36. DD 40 is only president bracelet, only fluted bezel (except platinum) and less dial options. Milguass dial is down to one design, two colors. New Air King has one dial, last one had several. Daytona now only has stick dials or diamonds - the romans and numerals are gone...It almost seems that as they go along updating each model they simplify it. We can of course only speculate as to the why is it reduced manufacturing or engineering cost? Is it marketing saying the purchase decision needs to be easier on the consumer?Of course this isn't necessarily a bad thing - I love the new DD40 for example, and always thought the stick dialed Daytona's looked best.Just wondered if others noticed this and what your thoughts were?Paul
